Newcastle - Leicester Prediction, Picks and Tips
On Wednesday, from 9:45 pm, Newcastle United and Leicester meet on the St. James Park, in a second leg of the English League Cup. The hosts are without Carroll, Colback, Gayle, Lejeune and Yedlin, while the "foxes" come with the complete lot in the match against the "cotopenes".
We expect an exciting match between the two rivals in the Premier League, who are morally at odds as a result of the latest results. Newcastle comes after a great success at Tottenham (1-0), where Steve Bruce's team dominated the duel tactically. Leicester defeated the newly promoted Sheffield United (2-1) and once again confirmed that they are a fearsome team when they play away.
Both teams rely on counterattack when they evolve in the championship, which will make the two managers' duels interesting. Given that none of the formations feel comfortable when in possession, it is possible to witness a slow pace, in which each one will throw the defensive error of the opponent. In the last two straight matches we have seen few goals, respectively victories away with 2-0 (for Leicester) and 1-0 (for Newcastle). We will once again bet on a balanced duel, which could be decided in extensions!
